The South Sudan General Medical Council (SSGMC) is an autonomous body responsible for the registration and regulation of medical, dental and pharmaceutical professions as well as regulation of health institutions and services in the country.

Our Vision is to be a medical regulatory body that will ensure professional practice among doctors and healthcare institutions in the interest of patient safety.

I am delighted to announce that the South Sudan General Medical Council (SSGMC) finally has a website that will be the hub of all its activities and communication with the profession, public and patients. The tentative launch date has been set around the first week of October, 2015. Acquisition of modern information and communication technology remained a priority in our short term strategic plans and we have focused consistently in our ten months of existence to achieve this goal. We are truly grateful to our partners from IFC–HIA Initiative, a subsidiary of the World Bank, who sponsored the whole project and patiently nudged us in the right direction to arrive at this important milestone. We are now certainly in a better position to set standards for medical, dental and pharmaceutical practice in South Sudan. Doctors and healthcare institutions will from now onwards be able to access and download application forms as well as communicate with the council through the website.(more…)

On behalf of the members and staff of the SSGMC, I welcome and thank you all for making time to attend this belated but important ceremony. It is no secret that things have not been going well for us in the health care and other sectors especially in recent years, often due to factors beyond our control. Suffering in all its forms has never kept us down as we are a tenacious and resilient people who adapt to whatever conditions we find ourselves in including some of the worst health indicators in the world. We have proven our tenacity and resilience again and again in our long history of strife as we suffered silently and managed to smile, sing and even dance in the midstt of all the misery. Rain clouds might gather in our skies and the sun disappears from view but, if we look carefully, there is always that silver lining in the clouds— a sure sign that day light will follow when the storm passes. We are a young nation and our tribulations will certainly come to an end one day as the storm will certainly pass. We are here today to officially launch the SSGMC website and formalise its activities. We all hope its formation will help ease our suffering by ensuring that we are treated by competent and safe medical practitioners in safe health care institutions.
